Abstract Two tests have been used to determine the possible harmful effects of higher fatty alcohols on rainbow trout. The effects of the compounds on the respiration of the fish was studied under closed and open circuit conditions. In the closed circuit, only concentrations of the order of 1000 ppm caused a significant drop in the oxygen dependence level and this effect was still present after 2 hours in clean water. Oxygen consumption is increased only during the recovery phase in clean water after exposure to 10, 100 and 1000 ppm fatty alcohol. In open circuit conditions fatty alcohols at 2.3 ppm do not appear to affect the overall metabolism of fish at rest.
